or osha puts forward a rule or regulation that is determined will have $100 million or more on economic impact on our multitrillion-dollar economy, that rule or regulation has to go before congress for an up or down d vote -- up or down vote. what effect would this have? this would slow down the regulatory process which is good. washington needs to deliberate before it acts. we can still regulate. but we need to deliberate before we act. but perhapses most importantly, in the -- perhaps most importantly in the end, this would allow our constituents to blame us for these painful and costly regulations rather than unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats. we want to be accountable. mrs. roby: absolutely. wag wag it puts the job back in the people's -- mrs. wagner: it puts the job back in the people's house. this isn't governance by fiat. we were sent here to pass the commonsense legislation and to get the government off the backs and out of the way of hardworking americans across this country. and truthfully, the overregulation, the overburden on business and industry is passed along to every

they keep talking about no epa or osha. i'm sure those people in bangladesh wish they had regulation. it's terrible how they are messing with the american worker, the middle class folk. i know the boston thing is important, but i wish we would push on that a little bit harder. >> stephanie: you are right. there has been so much news and they had how many times -- 1,350 pounds more than the amount they should have been allowed to have. and how many yards from a school and nursing home were they -- and that's right. because it's state by state and texas has very little regulation like that. >> caller: and i'm sure [ inaudible ] i'm sure they were dumping stuff in the water way before then. and it's ridiculous they don't want to pay wages -- you saw rick perry in chicago trying to bring another company down that's because he wants low wages -- and that is just sad. he could have been our president, and that is scary. >> stephanie: that would have been a big oops there. annette in georgia. >> caller: hi yes rick perry would hav
